Julie McGoran
Designer Travel Expert
Since April 2023
Travel has been my career, my passion, and quite simply my way of life. Over the years, I’ve helped clients plan everything from relaxing beach escapes and luxury cruises to once-in-a-lifetime adventures and milestone celebrations — always with the same personal, one-to-one attention.
I believe luxury means something different to each of us. For some, it’s indulgent hotels and thoughtful extras; for others, it’s unique experiences, seamless planning, or simply knowing everything has been taken care of. That’s why I take the time to really understand what matters to you, before carefully tailoring every holiday to suit your style, pace, and priorities.
When you book with me, there are no call centres and no off-the-shelf packages — just honest advice, trusted industry knowledge built over decades, and a genuine human connection you can rely on, from your first enquiry to your return home.
For complete peace of mind, all holidays are fully ABTA & ATOL protected, so you can book with confidence knowing your investment is financially secure.
I offer personal consultations, online appointments, and pop-up travel lounge experiences, making it easy to plan your next trip in a way that suits you.
Whether your escape is indulgent, adventurous, or simply well-earned, I’ll bring it to life — however big or small, with VIP service as standard.
